I scoured Google and Brave for answers, and nothing helped. I’ve been trying to install Garuda for 2 days now, and I can’t get past the GIGABYTE Insist on Ultra Durable screen. As far as I know, that’s just gigabyte’s bios post screen, meaning the system won’t even begin booting from the flash drive.
I have a Gigabyte B450 Gaming X, Ryzen 3600, 32 GB RAM @ 3000 MT/s, RTX 3060 12 GB, trying to install Garuda Dr460nized Gaming through a Kingston Data Traveler 3.0 32 GB. I do have turned off secure boot, fast boot, and CSM. I tried CSM on and off already.
The weird part to me is that, when I go to the bios to choose a device to boot, I see UEFI:KingstonDataTraveler-3.0 and UEFI:KingstonDataTraveler-3.0:Partition2. Both seem to hang on the same splash screen.
I’m at a dead end here, tried multiple different flashing softwares and Linux commands. The flash drive is known good, since it installed Fedora twice, one Bazzite and one base Fedora install. I don’t think I have easy access to a Windows computer to see if I can flash on Windows, nor do I think it should be necessary.
Then target the ISO with cat, and redirect to your USB drive in /dev/disk/by-id.
cat path/to/iso > /dev/disk/by-id/usb-[whatever]
After you get to usb just press Tab to auto-complete; it should fill in with your Kingston device automatically.
Be sure to target the whole drive, not any specific partition.
Run one of the following commands, replacing /dev/disk/by-id/usb-My_flash_drive with your drive, e.g. /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DataTraveler_2.0_408D5C1654FDB471E98BED5C-0:0. (Do not append a partition number, so do not use something like /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DataTraveler_2.0_408D5C1654FDB471E98BED5C-0:0-part1 or /dev/sdb1)
I hope that helps, welcome to the community @BalaDeSilver.
I went for cat first, since I’m more familiar with following instructions for terminal commands, and it didn’t work, but after some struggling with how to even use Ventoy, it did work and I’m finally installing the damn thing
The installer and overuse of AI is very cringe, but it does look like it’ll be a nice fit for me otherwise, especially because it’s Arch jank.
